  1. We can see, that the given penalties are in the form of A.P. having first term as 200 and common difference as 50.

    Therefore, a = 200 and d = 50

    Penalty that has to be paid if contractor has delayed the work by 30 days = S30

    By the formula of sum of nth term, we know,

    Sn = n/2[2a+(n -1)d]

    Therefore,

    S30= 30/2[2(200)+(30 – 1)50]

    = 15[400+1450]

    = 15(1850)

    = 27750

    Therefore, the contractor has to pay Rs 27750 as penalty.
